1082: Slots and Racetracks: Perfect Together?

9:15:00 AM - 10:15:00 AM

Racinos are the latest growth area of the gaming industry. As more states consider installing slot machines at their racetracks to increase purses and save the pari-mutuel industry, questions remain about how the two businesses can thrive alongside each other. Experts will discuss the similarities and differences of the customers and how the casino and racing environment can be customized, as well as new proposals for expansion in other jurisdictions.
